The Braconidae are a family of parasitoid wasps. After the closely related Ichneumonidae, braconids make up the second-largest family in the order Hymenoptera, with about 17,000 recognized species and many thousands more undescribed. [1] .

繭蜂科 （學名： Braconidae），又名 小繭蜂科，为 膜翅目 的第二大 科。 繭蜂科種類很多，分布廣泛，約有 17,000 個已識別物種，還有數千個未描述物種，目前研究者大多估計總數在 30,000 到 50,000 種之間 [3]。 蜂是常見的天敵昆蟲，幼蟲在其他昆蟲體上 拟寄生 生活。 繭蜂科寄主範圍廣，主要寄生於 鳞翅目 、 双翅目 、 鞘翅目 和 膜翅目 等的昆蟲，在害蟲自然控制和生物防治領域有較高的價值。 [4] Head of a cyclostome braconid showing circular opening above mandibles. …

braconid wasp, (family Braconidae), large and diverse family of more than 17,000 species of parasitic wasps, a number of which are useful for the biological control of insect pests. Like most species of solitary wasps, braconid wasps are parasitoids, meaning their larvae feed and develop on or within the bodies of other arthropods.

2022年11月17日 · Learn about the braconid wasps - their life cycle (eggs, larvae, cocoons), & benefits, what do they eat, & are they dangerous, along with pictures

Braconid wasps are widely distributed and often encountered. They constitute one of the principal groups of natural enemies of phytophagous insects, of which many are serious pest species. The enormous biological diversification of braconid wasps has led to many homoplasies, which contributed widely to instabilities in historical classifications.

2014年11月14日 · New evidence, largely in the form of molecular data, have shown that many morphological, behavioural, physiological and anatomical characters associated with basic life history features, specifically whether wasps are ecto- or endoparasitic, or idiobiont or koinobiont, can be grossly misleading in terms of the phylogeny they suggest.

2023年3月1日 · Perhaps the most widely recognized stage of any parasitoid wasp is the cluster of whitish/yellowish rice-like pupal cocoons of Cotesia spp. wasps (Braconids) found on tomato hornworms and cabbageworms.
